getSystemId output:

Libsmbios:    0.13.6
System ID:    0x01EC
Service Tag:  23DXDC1
Express Service Code: 4558355137
Product Name: Dimension E521
BIOS Version: 1.1.4
Vendor:       Dell Inc

There do not seem to be any pre-extracted images for this System ID.

Thanks for your help.

Can you run 'getSystemId' and check to see if there is a pre-extracted
BIOS image here: http://linux.dell.com/repo/software/bios-hdrs/

Look for system_bios_ven_0x1028_dev_YOURSYSID_version_XXXX

Also, if you could send me the getSystemId output from this system, I
would appreciate it.
